I know the dryer need 240 to work. It gets 120 from the red wire and 120 from the black one for a total of 240 vac. I am geting the 120 from the red side but I am losing it in the black side. I don't see a breaker in my parts list. Are you sure this dryer has a breaker? Do you have a partnumber?

Wendy is your meter reading 240 at the wall outlet? The circuit breaker is in the house in the electrical box containing all those necessary to shut down various circuits in the hose. They wire several different circuits into the house in case a breaker kills power to a circuit lights will still be in other parts of the house. Your dryer has a dedicated 30 amp circuit. The dryer itself turns via a 120 volt motor that is connected on the neutral and the black side of the dryer. The heater is a 5000 watt 240 volt type that uses L1 AND L2 If one side of that breaker is bad the dryer will run but not heat. If ALL of the components are good and the timer is ok then you my friend have an electrical problem. Sears dude: That will be $95 please
